You're on the right track but you're overlapping a few things here which aren't quite right.
Higher BC means the bullet meets less resistance in flight, it loses velocity at a slower rate so goes further before 'running out' of velocity and hitting the ground.
When talking about the same calibre, BC in increased by increasing the length of the bullet (the shape and style of the bullet plays a part too of course)
As a bullet gets longer it gets heavier. In general conversation peoples typically say you need a faster twist for heavier bullets, but it is in fact the length which determines the twist required.
A 70gr soft point, flat base bullet will be a lot shorter than a 70gr VLD, boat tail match bullet. Even though they're the same weight a faster twist would be required for the VLD than the soft point.
So short version, yes... 'high BC pills need a fast twist' but there is a little more to it than that. Just something to be aware of
